Question

Write the difference between velocity spead

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference Between Speed And Velocity  

1 DEFINITION:

Velocity can be defined as the rate at which an object changes position in a certain direction.

The rate at which an object covers a certain distance is known as speed.

2 TYPE OF QUANTITY:

Vector quantity

Scalar quantity

3 MAGNITUDE:

Velocity can be zero, negative, or positive.

Speed can never be negative or zero.

4 CHANGE OF DIRECTION:

The velocity of the object changes with the change in direction, therefore the object must follow one direction.

The average speed will continue to count even if the object change direction.

5 INTER RELATION:

An object may possess different velocities but the same speed.

Speed may or may not be equal to velocity.

6 UNIT(SI): 

Velocity is measured in m/s

Speed is measured in m/s

Explanation:

Answer 2

• Speed can be zero
• speed cannot be negative.
• speed is a scalar quantity.

• Velocity cannot be zero
• velocity can be negative
• velocity is a vector quantity.
